Asa

I have been REALLY into ambient music lately. My ears are hungover from all the rage-tastic electronic music that is currently popular. Recently I've been wanting my music to caress me with beautiful beats instead of taking my ears home and having sloppy drunken sex with them. If you, at times, also have a similar point of view, then check out Asa.



Asa was really the first producer that turned me onto this kind of music. The first time I heard his music was from this really cool video that accompanied tons of amazing video clips of nature with his latest EP at the time. Check out the video below, you won't regret it.




I remember how taken I was with the music from the video. It was so different to me at the time. I loved that he used real recordings of nature and paired them with unique vocal samples and threw it all over some really mellow, yet interesting beats. The best song from that video is this one, which also comes with a cool video!



You can find the whole EP on Spotify, along with his other EP, called Your Secret, where he partnered with Stumbeline, who is also partly responsible for the track above.

Recently Asa teamed up with KOAN Sound to release a 5-song EP called Sanctuary. It is absolutely brilliant. It is the perfect combination of the two's sounds: KOAN Sound bringing their glitch-hop/bass sounds together with Asa's beautiful dubstep/drum and bass compositions. The standout tracks for me are Sanctuary and Starlite. 



Check out the rest of the EP on Spotify

Check out Asa's SoundCloud for even more music, and like him on Facebook to always be on top of his latest releases!

Enjoy! <3
